Samuel Lewis Shane (14 April 1900 – 14 October 1993) was a modern American painter whose works span a period from the early 1920s to shortly before his death in 1993. Beginning in 1920, he studied under John French Sloan of the Ashcan School at the Art Students League in New York City. His classmates, including John Graham, Stuart Davis and Alexander Calder would have important influences on his career. In 1927, he went to Paris with Graham, Davis, and Calder and they worked with some of the most renowned European painters of the time. In particular, he was befriended by Fernand Léger with whom he lived and shared a studio. Man Ray photographed him along with many of the other artists of the time. Upon their return to the United States, Graham, Davis, Shane, and others would evolve an abstract expressionist style that came to be known as the New York School. Shane exhibited with the Independent Artists in NYC, was a member of the art colony in Provincetown and continued to paint as a lifetime member of the Art Students League. == Early life == Shane was born Sholem Luzar Olshansky, or Sholem Luzar ben Moyshe HaCohen v’Esther. on April 14, 1900, in Ryzhnyifke, (in Russian Ryzhanovka 〔http://select.nytimes.co/gst/abstract.html?res=FA0A17FC3F550C758DDDA90994DE494D81 Ryzhanovka〕) in the Kiev Gubernya, Ukraine, Russian Empire. Ryzhnyifke was a shtetl, or a small market town with a primarily Jewish population, serving the surrounding peasant villages. The family ran and owned the inn, the only building in the town with a wooden floor and "porch." Sam was the first child, so his parents were probably married in 1899. It was an arranged marriage. Esther was about 16 or 17 years old and Moyshe was probably 25 years old. Family oral history suggests that the family had run the inn for 300 years. Sam remembered having very little to eat as a small child. He also remembered being carried to kheder (religious school) as a child by the young men who helped the teacher; the streets were dirt, and in summer either deep mud or deep dust not navigable by a small child. He started kheder when he was three years old as was the custom. He also held memories of a series of pogroms (organized attacks on Jewish communities). The peasants in neighboring villages would warn them when the Cossacks were coming, signifying a coming pogrom. Some of the houses and the synagogue had pogrom cellars in which they would hide during such a rampage. His mother used to pick the children up to kiss a photo of Moyshe, their father, in America. His father had left Russia in 1903 to avoid being drafted into the Russian army for the Russo-Japanese war. Shane came to Philadelphia in 1906 with his father's youngest brother Bernard, his mother Esther (née Dzubati; in America the name was changed to Sabbath) and his younger brothers Edward and Bernard. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Samuel Lewis Shane」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
